Vertically is 2x faster because when walking vertically the tilemap grid is aligned on the LCD as multiples of 8 pixels. Aligned sprites/tiles displays much faster than unaligned ones.

Isn't Horizantally 96 a multiple of 8 too?
It is but I don't know why you bring that up? ???
I believe what he's trying to say is something like, "Since they're both in multiples of 8, and the sprites are aligned,shouldn't they be the same speed?"
Unfortunately, as these are not 8*8 sprites (they're 8*6, I think), the speed is different in the x direction than the y direction.

Edit: ninja'd. :-\

oh wow, I knew that.  x.x  I was just sticking with how walking speed looks different in my 8x8 tilemapper since the Vertical walking sprites have two steps for every one of the horizontal walking sprites.

The thing is that one sprite 8 pixel row is 1 bytes large, same for LCD pixel rows. If you try to display a sprite unaligned horizontally, its bytes content has to be split in two parts, so one part can be displayed on one LCD byte and the other part on the other. This is slower.

I'm still working on the NPC thing, trying to figure out how I want to store the text.
I'm also working on something that'll remain secret for now, I wanna surprise you guys with it. I will say it will hopefully enhance the environment in the game, as well as adding something to battles.


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

You already lost me when you got into bytes.
Hopefully my C64 will help me.

Sounds nice, I am curious what you'll come up with! Will you post new screenshots as well?

I wanted to let you guys know this isn't dead.
I'm not sure how much I can work on it right now, as I should have finals coming up, and I have my Eagle Scout project to work on, but hopefully over the summer I should be able to work on this, as well as my other projects.

Well, I've got a fairly nice update, I think.

First, I've finished the dynamic border system. I was able to steal it from my Pokemon TCG source, and it works perfectly!
Lil bit of a speed test for ya:


Also, I've gotten some good progress on the ASCII tilemapper. I still need to remove some code left over from the 8x8 tiled version, but even with a few characters following the player, the mapper still blazes by in 6 mHz. Imagine once I remove the unused code and do some optimizations! I hope to have a screenie up in a day or two.

The Pokemon TCG is a WIP, it was my UTI contest entry, but I was unable to finish it by the deadline. Let's just say there is much more data to enter than I anticipated. It's kind of on the back-burner now, but I am able to steal some of the code for various other things, like this border system.

And thanks guys! Good luck with your Eagle Project squidgetx!

The next step I see is finalizing both walking engines, which means the re-implementation of various puzzle elements, such as pushing blocks and jumping small gaps. I'm also considering adding some sort of hook-shot thing for Roland. Chain-blade FTW! (Those who've read the story know what I'm talking about.)

THis is nice. This reminds me of my ROL4ever one, except much faster. Also mine wasn't as dynamic as in the 2nd ROL4 project, but the 2nd ROL4 project did not support custom borders like the first.
